Notes

Live rig for Monsters In Moscow Festival, 1991. Dimebag was known to use the Dean ML with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup and Randall RG-100ES amp for Cowboys from Hell era live shows. Effects rack included Furman PQ-3/4 parametric EQ and MXR 6-band EQ. Settings are estimated for live, not studio.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythm, demanding strong right-hand technique and control to maintain clarity at high speed.
